Recreate Games has apologized after its AI video contest for Party Animals drew strong criticism from the community. The studio offered a $75,000 prize pool for AI-generated short films and animations but faced accusations of sidelining human creators. It now asks players to vote on next steps.
Recreate Games announced the contest earlier this week. It required entries under five minutes and specified that AI must serve as the core creative tool. The goal was to lower barriers for players with strong ideas but limited experience in editing or animation software.
